Intense, Entertaining Action Movie

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2006)

First of all, please treat my comments as my personal view of the movie and/or its crew. And yes, I like Michael Bay and his movies (along with other producers' and directors'). Though some of them (Bay's movies) may be overkill- The Island is just right. And no, I am not a "teenager" who is starved for explosions and violence. Lastly, I am not going to explain the movie- that's its job.
I just think this movie is another good, and yes, action movie by Michael Bay. I will also give credits to the whole crew and cast members as well. I am not a big fan of futuristic movies just because I can't relate to their elements. Therefore, I don't get too "sunk" in to the movies. However, The Island features a lot of things that I (we) am (are) familiar with in real life. It's not just the action that captured my attention.
Anyway, I rated this movie an 8 just because I enjoyed it. It kept me on the edge of the seat throughout the movie. For those whom haven't seen this movie, please keep your expectation in the middle ground. Just because I enjoyed the movie, it doesn't mean you will too. Just like all the movies, see them with your mind opened and leave your assumptions at home.
